Looking into Pascal’s Wager is quite informative and interesting. Pascal’s
Wager is typically known in the Theist culture as a wager for god. Pascal’s Wager states, “Believing in God is the better choice.” The arguments of Pascal are proven faulty in a number of ways. Pascal’s book has still become a major Theist book.
Pascal’s wager is, in the Theist 1 culture, a wager for God. Instead, this wager has been used as the opposite. The wager is actually one of three from a French man named Pascal, author of Pensées, who claims these wagers are proof of God’s existence. Pensées is translated into the word “thought” from French. The book is a collection of notes Pascal wrote down. Most of these notes were scattered or illegible. The topic known as Pascal’s wager …show more content…
So, Pascal has now made two striking assumptions:
1. The probability of God’s existence is 1/2.
2. Wagering for God brings infinite reward if God exists.” (Pascal's Wager,
2017)
In this Argument Pascal is saying that gambling against God is a losing battle.
That if God does exist there are infinite miseries in store for the individual. That
God’s existence is a coin toss. This ½-chance idea has a foundation of sand.
There are many different religions that have come to pass, and a few are still standing. The punishment of disbelief in these deities is some type of dimension for eternal punishment.
This in mind, Pascal goes on to say in the final argument that generalized expectation plays a part. Generalized expectation is a chart showing expectation
4 from certain outcomes. The chart above showing “God exists and God does not exist” can be classified as a generalized expectation criterion. Even the final argument is based on a “What-if” scenario. These scenarios are not looked at thoroughly because they have the ability to be far-fetched and are not based on
